Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 - YOUR questions answered!

[@robertguest7808]

Band 20 is the 800mhz which is great for when you are inside and it goes longer distances. Without band 20 you struggle in areas that have less masts in the country side

[@DrYT75]

Ok, and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 can't connect to B20, am I correct ?

[@robertguest7808]

@@DrYT75 that's correct as band 20 is a low bandwidth you have trouble in buildings and countryside where there's limited masks. Band 20 goes longer distances . I travel all over the country as I'm a hgv driver and without band 20 you don't get full coverage. I am waiting for the honour magic fold to go global as it has band 20 hopefully soon.

[@DrYT75]

Thanks. As I live in France, I will probably do the same, or wait for the OnePlus Open specs...

[@bogdanradu9207]

Yes...if you live in a big city, 0 problems. But when you get out, 3g+ only ... that's why I recommend getting a plan with another carrier for 4g. It's dual sim after all...

[@robertcampbell2075]

Great review - before I pull the trigger on one of these- have u got any info on frequency of security updates ? I'd heard anecdotally that Xiaomi in general weren't great with these & were normally a few months behind releasing...

Pulled the trigger on my 16gb 1tb Xiaomi Fold 3, supposed to arrive in 3 weeks, bought it on ebay from schenzen. It is almost everything what Samsung Fold 5 it should have been, on the recent release and i am saying that as a daily user of the Samsung Fold 3 for the last 2 years.

3 weeks?? i am positive it will arrive sooner! congrats!

[@aaakmm1785]

Can you show extended example in which internal display is used for web browsing? I have noticed that almost no reviewer in their reviews of foldable phones show web browsing. I would like to see comparison between normal phone and foldable phone in that regard. I am curious how well internal screens of foldable phones are optimized to show more text, more content of web pages. I have a feeling there is the same amount of text shown just bigger.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

because there is no need! web browsing is optimised to fit any display size so it works just like a tablet.

[@cirecomputers]

Thanks for this video. I had a question about Google pay and you answered it. Kudos!

Can the inner screen protector be removed and installed with an aftermarket one to avoid having to ship it back overseas?

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Yes @gadgetgoddess does screen protector videos!

[@jchebishev]

Bought the phone few days ago from China. Just finished all setup process. I love this peace of tech. Only downside for me is missing location history for Gmaps.

[@lemster101]

Previously I think he said location history did work, so maybe you have some settings wrong?

[@jchebishev]

There is no way location history could work as this is Chines ROM

[@lemster101]

@@jchebishev Where did you get it from? There is a difference if you get the phone from Winds who will set it up and install the Play store, but don't accept Google T&Cs in the beginning which is also why you can't install Chrome.

[@jchebishev]

Everything works perfectly, except location history. I bought it directly from phisycal shop. There is no global ROM for this phone so Wonda cannot install global version with working location history

[@animejodas2271]

I am interested in buying this smartphone but I don't know if the rom it comes with brings the Spanish language apart from Chinese and English. Do you know if it brings more languages apart from those 2 or only brings those 2? And the problem you mention only affects the history or directly the GPS does not work outside China?

[@nd8471]

1 of the best device ever, only negative is it wasn't released globally.

[@phantomplastics6582]

AT&T said the phone doesn't work on their network based on the IEMI but they were wrong. I put in a SIM and it worked just fine. So, then they created me a SIM to use with the Mix Fold 3. Great phone. Only glitches 1. VLC Player doesn't work but the pre-installed app for that does 2. Battle Net would not work until I changed default browser to Firefox 3. Cannot change default search engine to Google as far as I can tell.

[@kpehe100]

I have been using my Oppo Find X2 Pro for three years now on the Chinese ROM and it looks like 99.9 percent as perfect as our North American phones. The only thing that can't work on it is the Nearby Share. Google assistant can work on it but it can't work through earbuds. And those Chinese ROM phones can get the company support more than the global ones. After three years I still get bi monthly security update, at first I got a security update every month. I even got android 13 .

[@teeps2117]

It's Bananas how good this phone is. Couldn't get my Tag E4 to connect despite your tip of having both versions of Wear OS installed!

[@bogdanradu9207]

Romania here...2 out of 4 network carriers have band 20. Orange and Vodafone. This means that you will get LTE+ or 4g+ only in big cities. When you go to small towns, only 3g+.

Which webbrowser do you use on your smartphones? I very much like the Samsung Internet browser (for me much better than Chrome). A specific functionality that I love into the Samsung browser, is the possibility to view any video fullscreen (from any website), with the possibility to scroll forward or backward by swiping. This is a functionality that I will miss once I by the Honor Magic V2 (yes, I have decided 😁)

[@Maximum_Android]

I own Honor Magic Vs global. It's major advantage over any Chinese (Xiaomi) phone is 100% notifications from all apps (I have 10+years experience with Xiaomi phones, including Chinese versions). However, the Honor's external screen is not big enough for me - I barely use it. And main camera... I'm not satisfied to be short. So, I personally would rather go with Mix Fold 3 - notifications work at about 90% cases. Plus, having huge experience with many phones - MIUI proposes most functionality! BANANAS 🍌!
